How to Control Your Metabolism by Thyroid & Growth Hormone

This episode discusses metabolism and how our thyroid hormone and
growth hormone control our metabolism. I also clarify that
metabolism isn't just about burning energy, it’s about converting
energy from different sources into fuels for building and repairing
our tissues such as muscle, brain, and tendons and mobilizing
energy from body fat storage. I discuss the role of iodine,
selenium, and salt for thyroid health, and how specific exercise
protocols, amino acids and temperature can dramatically shift
levels of growth hormone release in waking and in sleep. I also
describe the current landscape of prescription compounds, peptides
and other factors for changing levels of thyroid and growth
hormone, and some of their risks. Throughout the episode,
mechanisms and tools grounded in specific mechanisms are discussed.
